I’m lucky that\, for the most part\, I get to sit back an d watch all of the amazing stuff that happens in Portland. And I consist ently revel in the awesomeness that people here are building. With PDX\, we wanted to showcase that almost frenetic variety of creativity in our town. But we also wanted to bring in folks who subscribed to common ide als. That’s why\, in addition to some amazing Portland people\, you’ll f ind folks like Tumblr and Flipboard on the docket. \;\n \;\nSecond \, we wanted this to be a true creative festival atmosphere. One of thin gs we wanted most was to make this a festival of creativity\, with some of that being creative applications of technology and some of that being the creative spirit of the music industry. That’s why MFNW and PDX are inextricably linked. And it’s also why we’ve got speakers with a foot in music and a foot in tech\, like Spotify\, Shazam\, CASH Music\, and Ten der Loving Empire. \;\n \;\nThird\, we wanted to create something intimate\, inspiring\, and invigorating. Many of us remember the serendi pitous experiences of conferences like SXSW and Big Omaha. We wanted to capture that same kind of experience\, bring interesting speakers\, and get interesting folks in town for the event. Our goal is to have you sit ting next to someone you never imagined having the opportunity to meet. Or getting the chance to chat with an amazing panelist at one of the con certs. Or simply running into someone on the street at the food carts. A nd maybe\, just maybe\, you’ll get to spend a little more time chatting with awesome Portland people whom you never get to see. \;\n \;\nL ast but not least\, we wanted PDX to provide a good excuse for people to visit Portland. Especially for those folks who are actively considering Portland for the next phase of their business or career. You see\, some times we forget how lucky we are to live where we do. And to work here. But rest assured\, there are any number of people and companies outside looking in. And this is a great opportunity to showcase what we’ve got h ere. \;\n \;\nhttp://siliconflorist.com/2012/08/14/experience-port land-thinking-musicfestnw-tech-conference-pdx/\n\nTags: startups\, confe rence\, creative\, tech\, digital\, pdx\, plancast:plan=chry\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250462728 URL:http://lanyrd.com/2012/pdxconf/ SUMMARY:Portland Digital eXperience (PDX) LOCATION:Various: false SEQUENCE:5 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120911T235132Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20121005 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20121003 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120911T235132Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120911T235228Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250462841 DESCRIPTION:This event runs from Wednesday\, October 3\, 2012 at 3pm thro ugh Thursday\, October 4\, 2012 at 5pm.\n\nDescription:\nOEN is redefini ng the meaning of "\;hackathon"\; with our first-ever OEN Pitch &\; Putt at McMenamin's Edgefield on Wedneday\, Oct 3. \;\nGet rea dy to hack around the 12-hole Edgefield pub course with your fellow Oreg on and SW Washington entrepreneurs and other leaders in Oregon's entrepr eneurial scene.

You are ready to reinvent the world with your bri lliant idea for a startup. But to get your business off the ground you n eed to connect with customers. You need a brand. \;\n \;\nA brand is what the outside world thinks of you. It’s communicated in everything you do - from how you answer the phone\, to the colors on your homepage \, to the logo on your door. You need to figure out what you stand for a nd how that walks and talks. \;\n \;\nYour customers may care less about the nuts and bolts of your business than your colors. \;\n \;\nDid you know… \;\n92.6% of people say that visual dimension is th e #1 influencing factor affecting their purchase decision? \;\n \; \nPeople make a subconscious judgment about a product within 90 seconds of viewing? Up to 90% of that is based on color! \;\n \;\nCome to this workshop to learn how to build your brand\, including: \;\n- How to choose your colors \;\n- How to choose your fonts&# 13\;\n- How to choose your images \;\n- How to develop your voice \;\n- How to build your logo \;\n- How to build your website\, business card &\; other branding elements \; \n \;\nWalk away from this workshop with: \;\n- Your brand personality \;\n- Tools to build your brand and win business&# 13\;\n- The ability to think like a creative (even if you’re not) \;\n \;\nThis workshop is presented by PrestoBox\, the world’s fi rst automated branding agency.

In the post-PC era\, asynchronous programming is even more in demand because mobile and wearable devices have limited resources and access the network excessively.

One in eight (12.5%) female owned businesses have successfully scaled. This is 2 times lower than male owned businesses. W e have uncovered three key barriers to women achieving their entrepreneu rial aspirations – Identifying Resources\, Lack of Mentorship\, and Less Funding / Sexist Culture. The women’s unconference will provide resourc es and networking to help overcome these barriers. The Facilitator Megan O'Leary the Director of Member Services from OEN is going to facilitate the whole unconference event. A great experienced facilitator makes the event\, so prepare yourself for a wonderful time. \;\n \;\nWhat w ill our Unconference look like: \;\n \;\n9:00am-9.30am Coffee & \; networking \;\n9.30-10am Keynote speaker \;\n10:00-11:00am Ov erview and group agenda setting \;\n11:00-11:45am Session 1

That's why so many workers and prospecti ve employees are required to learn Excel to enter or remain in the workp lace. Unfortunately many college students\, recent grads\, and professio nals haven’t mastered Excel or have the adequate Excel skills employers are seeking. According to Payscale\, “ 80 percent of job openings requir e spreadsheet and word-processing software skills. Yet so many people ne ver even give Excel a chance because it has an intimidating stigma aroun d it.” \;\n \;\nIf you walk through the finance or accounting depa rtment at any major corporate office\, you will see computer screens fil led with Excel spreadsheets outlining financial results\, budgets\, fore casts\, and plans used to make big business decisions. Marketing and Pro duct profesionals using Excel to list customer and sales targets\; manag ing thier sales force and planning future marketing plans based on past results. Pivot tables to quickly and easily summarize customer and sales data by category with a quick drag-and drop. HR professionals using gia nt spreadsheets full of employee data and understand exactly where the c osts are coming from and how to best plan and control them for the futur e. Supply logistic professional to manage inventory and forecasts demand .In essence\, you can turn an entire department around just because you know how to manipulate data in order to get an aggregate view. \;\n&# 13\;\nSTRUCTURE OF COURSE \;\n Advanced functions and formulas \;\ n *Logical functions \;\n *Conditional functions \;\n *Financial functions \;\n *Text functions \;\n *Date funct ions \;\n *Array formulas \;\n \;\nLookups and data tables& #13\;\n *Using lookup functions \;\n *Using MATCH and INDEX&# 13\;\n *Creating data tables \;\n \;\nAdvanced data management \;\n *Validating cell entries \;\n *Advanced filtering 3\;\n \;\nAdvanced charting \;\n *Chart formatting options \;\n *Combination charts \;\n *Graphical objects \;\n \ ;\nPivotTables and PivotCharts \;\n *Working with PivotTables \;\n *Rearranging PivotTables \;\n *Formatting PivotTables 3\;\n *PivotCharts \;\n \;\nExporting and Importing Data \; \n *Exporting and importing text files \;\n *Getting external data \;\n \;\nAnalytical Tools \;\n *Goal Seek \;\n *Scenarios \;\n \;\nMacros and Visual Basic \;\n *Running and recording a macro \;\n *Working with VBA code \;\n \;\n ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR \;\nMartin Jetton has 30+ years of advanced supp ly chain analytics\, predictive analytics\, and statistical consulting e xperience. He's currently a Principal at the Liberty Advisor Group\, whe re he works in advanced supply chain analytics. In his previous role\, h e was the Senior Predictive Consultant at Corios\; where he developed pr edictive models and scorecards\, forecast trends\, identify uncertaintie s\, and assign the ideal strategies to maximize performance. The firm’s clients are in the banking\, brokerage\, credit\, utilities and healthca re industries. \;\n \;\nBENEFITS \;\nNot only are many business professionals using Excel to perform everyday functional tasks in the w orkplace\, an increasing number of employers rely on Excel for decision support.The ability to analyze data is a powerful skill that helps you m ake better decisions. Microsoft Excel is one of the top tools for data a nalysis and the built-in pivot tables are arguably the most popular anal ytic tool. \;\n \;\nMAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUT \;\nThey are NOT seeing if you simply have Excel as a skill. They are diving deeping whe n it comes to determining which candidate to interview and hire. They lo ok for Pivot Table\, VLOOKUP\, Macros\, VBA\, Conditional Formatting\, C harting and Filtering…These are far more telling of your ability to an e mployer then writing Excel. Someone who writes VLOOKUP\, Pivot Table\, F iltering demonstrates an ability to analyse data and so has eliminated a potential barrier in the mind of the hiring manager reviewing your resu me. In essence\, use actual Excel functions in your Resume! \;\n \ ;\nINCREASE YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL \;\nDid you know that Excel know-h ow can instantly increase your job prospects as well as your starting sa lary? Excel is a transferrable skill that any hiring manager understands is critical. \;\nResearch shows job applicants who know MS Excel mak e $22.66 per hour on average compared to the $20.14 per hour their peers make who don’t know the program. That’s roughly an extra $20 per eight- hour workday and $100 per work week\, simply for knowing how to use a si ngle computer program. Moreover\, full-time employees in certain industr ies can see a starting salary bump of anywhere from $1\,000 to $7\,000 p er year based on their Excel skills. That’s not chump change you can ign ore. \;\n \;\nINSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR? \;\nA majority 63 percent of twenty-somethings want to start their own business. How will you sta y organized\, track data\, or forecast your finances if you’re not sprea dsheet-savvy? \;\nMany millennials simply want their first job. But\, what about your performance once someone hires you?

What hasn't changed is that every business\, from startup to corporation \, needs to have images of their people\, products\, venues\, and other resources. These photos end up on websites\, social media\, in print\, at those things called conferences that we used to do\, and elsewhere. Folks are going to notice the difference between an organization that ha s solid consistent imagery versus an outfit where you can tell that thei r visual brand was an afterthought. \;\n \;\nWhat does photography and visual branding look like for a startup or other organization in 20 20 and beyond? When should you hire a pro and when should you do it you rself? If you can afford the same gear as a pro\, what else are they br inging to the table that you don't have? Should you invest in photograp hy proactively\, or react as you have a need for pictures? Let's talk about visual media and photography. \;\n \;\nJoin us for a mentor Q&\;A with Aaron Hockley of Hockley Photography and TechPhotoGuy.com. Aaron is a professional photographer with a background in the tech wor ld\; he's photographed quite a few Portland tech startups and organizati ons over the past 12 years. The Professional Photographers of America h as recognized him as a Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman\ , which means that he knows a thing or two (maybe even three!) about mak ing and using effective images. \;\n \;\nRSVP: https://www.crowdca st.io/e/piepdx-aaron-hockley-visuals-photography-20200415\n\nTags: free\ , startup\, startups\, entrepreneur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders \, pie\, piepdx\, livestream\, photography\, photo\, crowdcast\, aaron h ockley\, visuals\, techphotoguy\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/e vents/1250476974 URL:https://www.crowdcast.io/e/piepdx-aaron-hockley-visuals-photography-2 0200415 SUMMARY:Photography\, Visual Media\, and Your Brand with Aaron Hockley of Tech Photo Guy LOCATION:Online: placeholder for on-line events\, SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200409T200526Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200416T173000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200416T163000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200409T200526Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200409T200526Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250476973 DESCRIPTION:We all rely on the bonds of our community in order for our bu sinesses to thrive. We seek intros to VCs\, backchannels to clients\, ad vice from our peers and mentors. In normal times\, these bonds heavily r ely on in-person interactions — coffees\, lunches\, beers\, and 1:1's. & #13\;\n \;\nReading body language is a critical component to reinforc ement of those bonds. In our most vulnerable moments\, we want to ensure that the other party is present\, listening\, and empathizing. And beyo nd the 1:1 interactions\, in social places like our coffee shops and cow orking spaces\, we create room for serendipity — that chance encounter t hat leads to something new and unexpected\, whether it's a new business idea or a solution to an existing problem facing a member of our communi ty. \;\n \;\nDuring this pandemic\, we've been stripped of the abi lity to interact as normal. Sure\, we have all these video chat tools — but it's not a replacement of our in-person interactions\, just a digita l proxy. And while those proxies may suffice for our 1:1 meetings\, they certainly aren't helping with serendipity. \;\n \;\nSo how do we form community in a time of crisis? How do we create space for chance?

As complex systems\, value creation occurs in startup communi ties primarily through the interaction of the parts—the people\, organiz ations\, resources\, and conditions involved—not the parts themselves. T his continual process of bottom-up interactions unfolds naturally\, prod ucing value in novel and unexpected ways.

The city’s deep talent pool\, prime location\, relative affordability\, and access to natural resources made the Rose City an ideal location for launching and growing a business. As recently as 2020\, Portland was ranked as one of the best places in the country to start a new business. \;\n \ ;\nBut that was then.

As we all know\, the only thing we k now for sure in these early hires is that their role will change over th e coming months - so we need to be sure we're not over indexing towards hard skills that won't be as important later. \;\n \;\nThis works hop will be interactive as participants feel comfortable\, and the goal is to learn from the facilitating team (at Hustle Hunters)\, each other\ , and especially ourselves during this session. \;\n \;\nIn terms of what to expect - There will be a mix of knowledge sharing and best pr actices from the facilitating team\, small group discussions\, and self- reflection work. \;\n \;\nWho should attend?: \;\n \;\nAny one who is hiring and building out a critical team within a startup (or scale-up) where the stakes are high\, and so often the only thing we &qu ot\;know"\; is that everything in their role will change over the co ming months.

You ’ll also see examples of VertueLab Entrepreneurs who are making it in Cl imateTech. VertueLab is a ClimateTech non-profit that is focused on help ing Pacific Northwest ClimateTech entrepreneurs achieve their goals. \;\n \;\nIdeas come from anywhere\, and individuals with those ideas often don’t have the entrepreneurial awareness\, tools\, or guidance to get started in their exploration. Also\, entrepreneurship is new in many communities and they need a jumpstart to gain the right knowledge and c onnections to move forward. \;\n \;\nThe best way to discover\, le arn\, and explore entrepreneurship is through a hands-on approach and me eting others that are building technology and can explain by showing. Ju mpStart Weekends are designed to be a comfortable space to gather curiou s individuals and introduce them to tools and methods they can use to ex plore their ideas and get instant feedback and mentorship\, all packaged over a weekend. \;\n \;\nAlthough it's in our mission to address the impacts of climate change\, entrepreneurship is for everyone. We wan t to increase access to entrepreneurship\, and provide the tools and kno wledge to everyone so that we are all part of the solution. So no prior knowledge of ClimateTech is required\, all you need is an idea and the c uriosity to know more and explore in a weekend of fun\, we encourage you to apply! \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: free\, startup\, startups\, entrepre neur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders\, cofounder\, cofounders\, por tland\, pdx\, cleantech\, clean tech\n\nImported from: http://calagator. org/events/1250480951 URL:https://www.vertuelab.org/45-camp SUMMARY:45 Camp Jumpstart Weekend LOCATION:Briq Studio: 209 Northwest 4th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240314T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240314T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480992 DESCRIPTION:It's another opportunity to meet the folks from the [Portland Startups Slack](https://pdxslack.com) in real life!\n\nTags: free\, sta rtup\, startups\, entrepreneur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders\, co founder\, cofounders\, portland\, pdx\, beer\n\nImported from: http://ca lagator.org/events/1250480992 URL:https://www.meetup.com/social_beer/events/299661799/ SUMMARY:#social_beer (Portland Startups Slack IRL) LOCATION:Beulahland: 118 NE 28th Ave\, Portland Or 97232 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20231227T193143Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240320T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240320T170000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20231227T193143Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20231227T193143Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480865 DESCRIPTION:Demolicious is back!

About the Startup Conversations Event
Each month we host a loc al founder who will give a short presentation about their company. They will focus on how it all got started\, where they are today\, and their plans for the future including the challenges they face to make their go als happen.
Following the presentation our host\, Dave Barcos will dig i nto the founder's background\, the company's story\, and other observati ons. After the interview\, we will have an audience Q&\;A session to help attendees ask direct questions of the presenter.
It has proven to b e a great format to catalyze the local founders and the startups in the region. You won't want to miss it.
